EAST DIXFIELD — The Mystic Valley Grange will host its final craft and food sale of the season from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, June 8, at their hall on Route 2.
The sale will be in celebration of Father’s Day, which is Sunday, June 16.
The grange’s first Father’s Day craft fair comes a month after it held its first Mother’s Day craft fair, grange member Hazel Flagg said. She said the Mother’s Day craft fair went “quite well” and they have high hopes for the Father’s Day sale, despite the fact that it falls on the same day as Mt. Blue High School’s graduation.
“We’re not sure what we’ll be contending with in terms of Mt. Blue’s graduation, but if we can make a few hundred dollars, we’ll be happy,” Flagg said.
The cost for vendors to rent a table indoors or outdoors is $15, Flagg said. As of Thursday afternoon, she said there were “seven or eight” vendors who had rented tables to sell woodworking, knitting, crocheting and jewelry.
Flagg said her daughter would be tying flies for fly-fishing, while her husband is making cribbage boards. There will also be paracord necklaces for sale, crafted by a family from New Sharon.
“We’re also serving lunch at noon,” Flagg said. “Grange members will be cooking the food. There’s a woman who comes here from Vassalboro who usually throws something together, but I have no idea what she’s doing this Saturday for a meal.”
The money raised from the craft fair will go toward renovating the grange building.
“We recently fixed the downstairs windows, with the help of United Way,” Flagg said. “Right now, we’re trying to raise some money for the upstairs windows.”
